AU-W vs EN-W, 1st T20I: Match Prediction, Dream11 Team, Fantasy Tips & Field Report | Ashes of a woman 2025

After a dominant 3-0 win in the recently concluded ODI series, Australia they will now turn their focus to the T20 format as they prepare to face them England in the opening match of the T20I on Monday. The Aussies completely outplayed England in the ODIs, winning all three games and completing a comprehensive whitewash, but the T20I series promises to bring a new set of challenges for both teams.

Australia go into the T20I series with confidence after their emphatic ODI win, but they are aware that the shorter format requires a different approach. England, on the other hand, will look to bounce back from their defeat in the 50-over format and show their mettle in the fast-paced T20 games. Both teams have a wealth of T20 experience, with explosive batsmen, sharp bowlers and dynamic fielders.

Sydney Cricket Ground Report:

The Sydney Cricket Ground is expected to provide an exciting battle between bat and ball in the T20 matches. Early on, the surface could play a bit slow with variable bounce, providing opportunities for both pacers and spinners to make an impact. As the game progresses, pitching is likely to become more consistent, allowing hitters to time their shots more effectively and making it easier to score runs. Teams who win the toss are likely to opt to bat first, aiming to post a formidable total to put the opposition under pressure early on.
